RASC News Agency: During the recent foreign relations committee meeting in the United Kingdom’s parliament, Lord Tariq Ahmad, the Deputy Foreign Minister, addressed the deeply concerning restrictions imposed by the Taliban group on women’s work and education in Afghanistan. In his impassioned speech, Lord Ahmad highlighted the devastating impact of these actions, emphasizing that they have effectively dismantled the hard-earned progress achieved over the past two decades in the country.

With genuine concern etched across his face, Lord Ahmad expressed his profound unease regarding the regression of minority rights, women’s rights, and women’s education in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of foreign forces. Furthermore, he shed light on the tireless efforts being undertaken by the British government to provide assistance to the Afghanistani people in this challenging time.

These remarks come against the backdrop of growing restrictions imposed by the Taliban on women in Afghanistan. Tragically, many women are now confined to the confines of their homes, deprived of their fundamental rights and freedoms. This alarming situation has spurred countries and women’s activists worldwide to highlight the dire consequences of excluding women from society, as it inevitably leads to the overall deterioration of societal fabric.

It is crucial to emphasize that the Taliban, during their two-year rule, enacted outright bans on girls attending schools and universities, as well as restricting employment opportunities for women in both governmental and non-governmental sectors. These oppressive measures have sparked outrage and condemnation from numerous countries and organizations around the globe.

Despite international condemnation and appeals, the Taliban have unabashedly disregarded the demands and pleas made by various nations and organizations. Instead, they have cruelly intensified their restrictions on women and girls, even going so far as to forcibly shut down women’s beauty parlors.

The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. Urgent action is required to protect and restore the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan. The international community must unite, speak out against these flagrant human rights violations, and work tirelessly to ensure that the progress achieved over the past two decades is not irreversibly eroded.
